Are you a video creator who loves turning raw footage into engaging, trend-aware short-form content? Come join CED! With over 850+ locations nationwide, we're an established electrical wholesaler looking for a creative Social Media & Video Production Intern to help us level up our digital presence across our branches. You'll work directly with our Marketing Coordinator, owning post-production and publishing for three Profit Centers (PCs), turning raw, on-location footage into polished Reels, TikToks, YouTube Shorts, and graphic posts, and getting hands-on exposure to the trade industry along the way.

Reports to: Marketing Manager and Profit Center Manager

Minimum Qualifications:

What You'll Own

This role is the engine behind our short-form content pipeline. You'll be responsible for:

• Video Editing: Editing raw branch footage into finished, on-brand short-form video (Reels, TikToks, Shorts) with captions, cuts, and trending audio.

• Content Scheduling: Building and maintaining the posting calendar across Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and TikTok for all three PCs.

• Caption Writing: Writing engaging, on-brand captions for every post, following CED's voice and tone guide. Target output: 5 videos or photo posts per week, per PC (15 pieces/week total), with content reused and repurposed across branches to maximize reach.

Preferred Qualifications:

Supporting Responsibilities

• Graphic Design: Create simple, eye-catching graphics for promotional events, sales announcements, and swag previews using Canva or Adobe Suite.

• Asset Management: Organize raw and finished media files in shared cloud folders (Google Drive / Dropbox).

• Trend Tracking: Track viral audio, video trends, and social features that can be adapted for a trade and B2B audience.

Working Conditions:

Hybrid Structure

Editing, scheduling, and caption writing can be done independently, on your own schedule, within the week's deadlines. Everything else, training, planning, and hands-on learning happens in person:

• In-Person Meetings: Regular check-ins and content planning meetings with the Marketing Coordinator.

• Warehouse & Counter Rotation: Time in the warehouse and at the counter to understand how a branch actually runs, this is where your best content ideas will come from.

• Sales Ride-Along: Shadow outside sales or a branch manager for a day to see the customer relationship firsthand and capture real footage while you're at it.

• Vendor & Product Training: Sit in on a vendor demo or product training session so you can speak knowledgeably about what you're filming.

• Branch Travel: Occasional paid travel to our Salt Lake City and Ogden branches for multi-location content and cross-branch collaboration.

• Events: Priority access to shoot any trade events, branch openings, or promotional days that fall during your term.

Supervisory Responsibilities: No

Essential Job Functions:

What We're Looking For

• Editing Skills: Proficiency in desktop and/or mobile-first editing tools (CapCut, Adobe Premiere/Rush, Canva, etc.).

• Social Savvy: Familiarity with short-form video pacing, hook creation, auto-captions, and trending audio.

• Writing Ability: Comfortable writing clear, on-brand captions and adapting tone across platforms.

• Organization: Able to manage a weekly content calendar and deadlines independently.

• Communication: Clear, proactive updates on project status, feedback, and post schedules.

• Real Portfolio Building: Direct, measurable impact creating B2B/trade content across multiple retail and wholesale locations, great for your reel.
